Cover Story: This paper proposes a distributed turbo-electric hybrid propulsion system architecture for air–ground aircraft, consisting mainly of the turboshaft engine, hybrid energy storage unit and distributed electric drive-propulsion units. Power calculation, energy and weight analysis are conducted under the air–ground amphibious profile. Genetic algorithm is applied to sizing for optimal total weight and propulsion efficiency, and the energy management framework is designed by adopting an equivalent consumption minimum strategy and fuzzy logic control. Simulation results indicate that this architecture can achieve a 21.80% fuel consumption and CO2 emission optimization rate at the cost of 10.53% mass increase compared to the oil-powered system. Hybrid energy storage can reduce mass by 8.1% and volume by 3.77% compared to the single storage. View this paper
